View 2 RepliesI have a text file that set's some color values I would like to use in my flash movie.bascially its a config file for movieclips rollovers(set's the colors)my textfile reads as follow
Code:
textOut=0x3F6075&baseOut=0xFFFFFF&outLineOut=0xE19C14
My Flash is as follows:

I'm trying to load data from an external textfile, called "config_flash.txt". It works perfectly if applying the fetched data is done within the same function where the loading is done. However, I would like to use the fetched variables in other parts of the script.
Here's what works:
Actionscript Code:
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("config_flash.txt"));varLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
[code]...
So, basically I want the variables/values defined inside the function to be available anywhere in the script. The error that the second code snippet causes is as follows: "1120: Access of undefined property text1/text2".
I am trying to pass a variable from a text file into a variable in flash and trace it to screen. This is what I have done so far, but its not working. I have created a text file in the same folder as my flash. In the text file I have this:
loadedtext=hello
flash code:
function myFunction(){
trace("Data is loaded");
} var container:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
container.onLoad= myFunction;
container.load("demo1.txt");
trace(container.loadedtext);
Wanted to know if it is possible to make a bool-variable in flash that is set to 'false' by default. It then checks if a file exists at a certain location, and if so, the bool-variable is set to 'true' ?
Something like:
if (c:/myTextfile.txt == true){*do stuff here*;}
What would be the correct code?
Working in AS2, using CS3 Flash Pro I've simplified this to just the one little thing I'm trying to do.
countervariables.txt has this text in it:
[Code]...
The trace shows itemsPerMili as 'NAN' and totalForYear as 'undefined'. I know itemsPerMili yields 'Not A Number' because totalForYear comes up undefined, but oddly, the loaded variable does show up correctly in a dynamic text field assigned to the variable. I don't understand why it should show up in the dynamic text field correctly when it won't trace.
I want to see the number "3.80517503" in my trace for itemsPerMili.
how can i get the value of a color from a variable. if i click the button, some rgb value should be stored in a variable and through some function i should get it. i wrote the function something like this:
------
on (press) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(myVariable);
}
-------
but it's not working.
I read the tutorial on this site about changing the color values of an object, or of a movie clip. My question is: How can I get the value of a color from a variable. If I click the button, some rgb value should be stored in a variable and through some function I should get it. I wrote the function something like this:
on (press) {
var colorful = new Color("_root.shapes");
colorful.setRGB(myVariable);
}
But it's not working.
I created a flash application which loads in many other little flash applications (.swf files) based on menu selections. When I change one of the little applications the changes are viewable except when I change the background color.
After the first time I view the application, the background color changes do not carry over to the main app. I run the little ones stand alone and they show the new color, then I run the main app and any other changes I have made are there but not the color change. When I remove the file and the load fails, the old backround color still displays in the container movie clip the .swf was previously loaded into.
I have tried several different options and the only thing that worked was renaming and copying and deleting and making a big mess. There has to be a way to force a refresh of this mysteriously saved color. doesn't there?
I want to use a variable to set the color of text and graphics input by the user. I use the following code to set the variable:
var setColor:String;setColor = "0xff0000";
strokeColorBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, setStrokeColor);
function setStrokeColor(event:MouseEvent):void { setColor = "0xCCCCCC"; trace ("the new color is " + setColor);}
This works, and I am able to use the variable to set the color of type in a text field:
textFormat.color = setColor;
But when I try and use the variable to set the color of a graphic element:
designContainer.graphics.beginFill(setColor, 0.1);
I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to and unrelated type uint.
So I thought that I might have to cast the String as a uint, so I tried the following:
designContainer.graphics.beginFill(setColor as uint, 0.1);
That eliminated the error message, but it does not change the color.
I have two variables:
var defaultMainHexidec:Number = 0xFFFFFF;
var mainHexidec:Number;
If a value isn't assigned to mainHexidec I assign the default value as follows:
mainHexidec = defaultMainHexidec;
trace("mainHexidec = " + mainHexidec);
The trace returns the same value as the value returned when tracing the defualt value. But if I use mainHexidec as the fill for a rectangle, the color is black while the default value is white (or any other color). If I set the color using the default variable the fill appears correctly. If I set the number using the number traced in either defaultMainHexidec or mainHexidec (it traces the same number) the color is correct.
I have an XML file that is passing the color that is needed on a movie clip.I can make the color variable in the XML the actual HEX number and that works fine.Example:
Code:
//XML
<ColorData>

I'm loading an swf file into my main application using URLLoader, I want to get the background color of the loaded swf file. ( I heard that one solution wold be reading the byte code of the loaded swf )
View 2 Repliesi'm trying to change the color of an instance that's inside an external .swf that i load into my main .swf
the code is basically this:
- in the main .swf:
this.createEmptyMovieClip ("portfolioConteudo", 101);
portfolioConteudo.loadMovie ("portfolio.swf");
[Code].....
when i click on myButton, the _root.portfolioConteudo.webContainer goes to _x position 50, but the color stays the same. but if i change the target of the corWebFolio to _root.portfolioConteudo, the whole swf becomes red, i mean, the code is right, except for the target path.
The fill function that I made works as long as you only need one color. How do I make a variable that will store the color? flash keeps giving me an error for trying to do it the way I am doing it.
Code:
fillit = function (d, e, f, g, color) {
color2 = "0x"+color
_root.lineStyle(1, 0x666666)

I am building a project where I got XML text displayed on a textfield. How can I change a specific word's color through actionscript 3 instead of doing it on XML? I though of creating a String variable for my word and then using that variable in my textfield.text, it works but is it possible to set a color for that variable?
View 3 Replieshi guys! just asking how to save text to textfile using AS2.
View 1 RepliesOkay so I am new to using txt files, and not too great with arrays, but I think I should have this right. But when I try to trace the array, I get undefined!I found this on another thread, and changed it accordingly.
Code:
_root.textArray = new Array();
_root.text_lv = new LoadVars();

I have a variable which takes a particular form of array (used with the component DataSet). It looks like this:
Code:
var recData = [{svenska:"Hej", spanska:"Hola"}, {svenska:"nej", spanska:"no"}, {svenska:"ocks�", spanska:"tambi�n"}];
I want to extract this variable from a textfile instead of writing it directly into the code-area of the flash-file, so I used the following code:
Code:
// 1) Loads the textfile, recieves the array, and puts it into a variable called txt_Data
var txt_DataSet = new LoadVars();
[Code]....
Unfortunately it seems the array gets converted to an ordinary string in the process, so I cant use it properly. Is there a way I could extract the array from this string again, and if so, how?
What I'm wanting to do is set the scale of a textfile (putted in an mc) at 200% and scale with a prototype on release of a button to 100 precent (its height).

View 2 RepliesIn have an application that uses buttons t0 load different text files. The problem is when I load the second text file I still get variables from the first one showing. To clarify things, suppose I load a file that displays variables 1 through 5 randomly when I click one button, then I click a second button in order to load a file that displays 6 through 10. The problem is that I still get some variables from 1-5 when I want to get only 6-10. Is the first file kept in memory or something? How do I unload or clear the temp/memory where the content of the first file is held.

View 9 Repliesi have a button, with instance name lightblue_color. I am assigning a color to its color field like this: lightblue_color.transform.colorTransform.color = 0x65ffff; then i am adding an eventlistener to the button like this: lightblue_color.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ChangeColor); Then, in the function: public function ChangeColor(evnt:MouseEvent):void {trace(evnt.target.transform.colorTransform.color);} It prints 0. Why is that? Shouldn't it print 0x65ffff or do i need to do some type conversions?
